The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of two Earth satellites moving in circular orbits with different radii, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have two satellites: - Satellite 1 is at radius \( r \). - Satellite 2 is at radius \( r - \Delta r \), where \( \Delta r \) is very small compared to \( r \). ### Step 2: Calculate Angular Velocities The angular velocity \( \omega \) of a satellite in orbit can be expressed using the formula: \[ \omega = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r^3}} \] where \( G \) is the gravitational constant and \( M \) is the mass of the Earth. For Satellite 1 (radius \( r \)): \[ \omega_1 = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r^3}} \] For Satellite 2 (radius \( r - \Delta r \)): \[ \omega_2 = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{(r - \Delta r)^3}} \] ### Step 3: Find the Angular Velocity of Approach The angular velocity of approach \( \Delta \omega \) is given by: \[ \Delta \omega = \omega_1 - \omega_2 \] Substituting the expressions for \( \omega_1 \) and \( \omega_2 \): \[ \Delta \omega = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r^3}} - \sqrt{\frac{GM}{(r - \Delta r)^3}} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Expression To simplify \( \Delta \omega \), we can factor out \( \sqrt{GM} \): \[ \Delta \omega = \sqrt{GM} \left( \frac{1}{r^{3/2}} - \frac{1}{(r - \Delta r)^{3/2}} \right) \] ### Step 5: Use Binomial Expansion For small \( \Delta r \), we can use the binomial expansion: \[ (r - \Delta r)^{-3/2} \approx r^{-3/2} \left( 1 + \frac{3\Delta r}{2r} \right) \] Thus, \[ \Delta \omega \approx \sqrt{GM} \left( \frac{1}{r^{3/2}} - \left( \frac{1}{r^{3/2}} + \frac{3\Delta r}{2r^{5/2}} \right) \right) \] This simplifies to: \[ \Delta \omega \approx -\frac{3\Delta r \sqrt{GM}}{2r^{5/2}} \] ### Step 6: Calculate Time Interval The time interval \( \Delta t \) between the two satellites can be calculated as: \[ \Delta t = \frac{2\pi}{\Delta \omega} \] Substituting our expression for \( \Delta \omega \): \[ \Delta t = \frac{2\pi}{-\frac{3\Delta r \sqrt{GM}}{2r^{5/2}}} = \frac{4\pi r^{5/2}}{3\Delta r \sqrt{GM}} \] ### Conclusion The final expressions for angular velocity of approach and time interval have been derived. The correct options based on these calculations would be the ones that match these results. ---
